The International System in Transition and the Mutual Relationship between America and China (1991-2010)

This article is aimed at explain the reasons for the rise and fall in the mutual relationship between China and America after the end of the bipolar system. Unlike the bipolar-system period of international relations where the behavioral models and relations between the two countries were either cooperationist or controversial, in the modern period, which is referred to as “the order in transition”, the relationship between America and China has increasingly seen a process of ups and downs. In so doing, this article will show that the simultaneity in the behavioral models of cooperation and the conflict within each of the subject areas have affected the macro factors of the mutual relations by determining the order factors in transition and referring to the model variables of the mutual relations between countries as a conceptual framework.
